This week, we scanned Amazon’s bestseller list for the highest-rated and best blenders, then pulled the most authoritative reviews for each. Snag one and test it out on our cold-weather protein drink recipes, or our favorite post-workout smoothie.
Best Blenders for Quick, Healthy Smoothies
NutriBullet 12-Piece Blender System ($70)
“I have owned a few smoothie blenders over the last 5 years, this one is by far my favorite. It blends so much better and gets jammed less than others. I use this for smoothies mainly and it blends spinach and fruits incredibly well. Most blenders I have owned like this never last longer than a year, seems heavy duty, so I’m hoping it will endure.”
Ninja Professional ($52)
“My wife wanted for a very long time and since I bought it we make shakes four times a day with everything from chia seeds, to kale, to frozen fruits. The old blender would have me finding chia seeds in my teeth. This blender is so efficient that even little chia seeds are blended to a smooth consistency.”
Hamilton Beach Power Elite ($45)
“This has been the I have owned to date. I use it every day for making smoothies and it has held up great. Its lid has an air vent to release steam and a spout which allows for easy pouring and prevents spills.”
Oster My Blend ($30)
“I bought for my 12-year-old daughter. It’s easy to use with its one-touch button and is the perfect size for her smoothies. I love that the container is a sports bottle, made of BPA free plastic, and very easy to clean. This blender is powerful for its size and blends frozen fruits with ease.”
